Super Legendary Superstar

Although Durant often plays as a substitute for the Magic this season, he still averages 17.6 points per game in the regular season. Although it is less than the 20.3 points per game in his previous rookie season, he is still on a consecutive championship team with the first player in the league. In playing basketball, having such data shows that the team attaches great importance to Durant.

Durant's shooting percentage is not very high, especially his three-point shooting percentage, which is only over 30%. It is slightly better than his previous life, but this kind of shooting rate is not enough to cope with the strong playoffs. opponent.

Therefore, in this series against the Raptors, Sun Zhuo still treats it like a regular season game, giving Durant a chance to practice. Maybe with the strength of the Magic, he can sweep the Raptors, but for this, Sun Zhuo is willing to lose. Two games.

Durant's expression was complicated. He had gone through a very strange mental journey this season. When he first joined the Magic, Durant believed that Sun Zhuo was prejudiced against him and was using his highest position in the team to suppress him and not allow him to grow. Opportunities, gradually, Durant consciously or unconsciously felt that Sun Zhuo was taking the initiative to help him grow, and even deliberately reforming him, asking him to practice more three-pointers and teaching him to shoot in various ways.

Now, at such an important moment in the playoffs, Sun Zhuo has completely handed over the game to Durant!

Today's game was Durant's first playoff game. He was very nervous and didn't know if he could play well. He even wondered whether Sun Zhuo was deliberately putting pressure on him.

Sun Zhuo just wants to put this kind of pressure on Durant. Facing the Celtics is definitely a tough battle. Durant must go through this in advance. If Durant can't bear this kind of pressure, then facing the Celtics Guys like Pierce and Garnett are even less useful.

Poor Raptors coach Sam Mitchell completely misjudged their opponent. In the first quarter, the Magic defeated the Raptors. Sun Zhuo received 6 assists in a single quarter, and Durant got the highest score of the Magic. Fraction.

"Hell, what kind of play is this!" Seeing the Magic handing the ball to Durant again and again, Mitchell was completely stunned.

But soon, Durant's unstable state and gradually worse shooting percentage solved Coach Mitchell's headache. He even went from a seriously ill patient to an alien with superpowers. Delighted and disillusioned.

"If the Magic are so messy and let Kevin Durant take the lead, wouldn't the Raptors have a better chance of defeating the weak?" When Coach Mitchell knew what the Magic were thinking, he specifically called a timeout and asked the Raptors Risbosch and others said that they must win a victory in the away game, and that is in the first game.

Durant is indeed a rookie. He has never participated in the playoffs in his rookie season. His scoring is still very unstable after the defensive intensity increases. In fact, with his height and wingspan, these can be completely ignored.

By the fourth quarter, Sun Zhuo was ready to take over the game and said to Durant: "You have scored 25 points, but your performance today is far from meeting my requirements."

Durant scored 25+ in his first playoff game, but he didn't dare to show satisfaction in front of Sun Zhuo. In this game, Sun Zhuo was yelling his name all the time, just like Sun Zhuo did to Howard before. , Durant began to understand why Howard didn't like Sun Zhuo, but Durant and Howard are different people. Durant has a stronger desire to win or lose the game than Howard, and he can accept this kind of supervision. , although it is very stressful.

The stalemate that lasted a whole game was broken after Sun Zhuo's 2+1 performance of two three-pointers and a dunk. It only took Sun Zhuo a few minutes to help the Magic seal the victory.

After the defeat, until he returned to the hotel and played in the room depressedly as he had not done in ten years, the fire in Coach Mitchell's heart still could not be let go. He lay on the big bed and pounded the soft quilt with both hands. Shouting: "This is a disgrace!"

Chris Bosh endured the anger, and he and the entire team responded with an astonishing performance in the second game. In this game, Bosh made 4 of 5 three-pointers.

"You can't just play seriously for a few minutes in this game, right?" Chris Bosh looked at Sun Zhuo and felt very honored at this moment. He felt that they had won Sun Zhuo's attention with their strength, but in fact, they still didn't.

Sun Zhuo still only played seriously for a few minutes. The rest of the time, he was still training Durant. Durant still scored 25+ in this game. Although his shooting rate was about the same as the previous game, Sun Zhuo still scored 25+ in this game. Zhuo has clearly felt Durant's progress. The 25+ in the second game is definitely more difficult than the first game because he encountered a stronger defense.

"Performed well today." After the game, Sun Zhuo praised Durant.

"But, today we lost." Durant blamed himself.

"It's not important. There are seven games in the series, and we can afford to lose." If Sun Zhuo heard these words from the Raptors players, they would probably be very angry. Sun Zhuo simply wanted to let the series last a few more games. , to help Durant grow.

The Magic's situation has also been noticed by the Celtics, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen all saw that the Magic was helping Durant adapt to the intensity of the playoffs. When they faced each other, time, maybe Durant will be a big threat.

I don't know if it was because of distraction or something, but when we arrived at the Hawks' home court, the Celtics, who originally led 2:0, were beaten twice in a row, and the series became a 2:2 tie.

In the series between the Magic and the Raptors, each won one game and lost one. After four games, the total score became a 2:2 tie.

In contrast, the Los Angeles Lakers have a different attitude. They have won four consecutive games and swept the golden guns of Iverson and Anthony. Many people are predicting that the Lakers will be the championship this season!

In the fifth game, the Magic began to show their strongest side, announcing their strength with a 30-point victory. The Celtics also beat the Hawks by 28 points in G5, but they lost in Game 6. , but was defeated by the Eagles and was taken into the seventh game.

This was something no one expected.

The Magic gave the Raptors no hope and settled the first-round series 4:2. Soon, the Celtics also defeated the Hawks in another seven games.

The Magic and Celtics have both advanced, but they are not their opponents in the next round. The Celtics' next opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the Magic's next opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons are also Sun Zhuo's old rivals. They know Sun Zhuo's strength very well and will never allow Sun Zhuo to deal with this series with a training mentality. Billups and Rasheed Wallace have done a lot of preparation work. , this series fell into a hard fight in the first game.

On May 3, the Pistons' defense made it very difficult for the Magic to score. Durant was in a scoring dilemma, and even Sun Zhuo's scoring efficiency dropped sharply.

After the loss in G1, Sun Zhuo supported the team by himself. He scored 58 points in G2, defeated the Pistons and won an away game.

The next two home games became much easier. Sun Zhuo led the team to two consecutive wins, got the match point, and finally defeated the Pistons and advanced to the semifinals.

The series between the Celtics and the Cavaliers fell into a hard-fought seventh game. This was the same plot as in the previous life. The Celtics' first two series reached the seventh game, and they were competing with the Cavaliers. We almost lost seven times, and then in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, it became easier and easier.

In the end, just like the result in the previous life, the Celtics narrowly defeated the Cavaliers. James was out for another year in vain. He once again had to watch Sun Zhuo continue to compete for the championship.

However, this year, James feels that Sun Zhuo will also be eliminated soon. The Celtics are indeed sad at this stage.

May 20th is a day that many Chinese people like to express their feelings. On this day, Sun Zhuo and his teammates came to the home court of the Devils and the Celtics.

The crowd booed.

The noise that filled the sky made people uncontrollably panicked.

"The day has finally arrived." Sun Zhuo felt the noisy atmosphere at the scene, but he was very calm. Today's commentator said that Sun Zhuo had been waiting for this day for a season. In fact, Sun Zhuo had been waiting even longer. , he had long known that he would encounter the Celtics' Big Three this year.

"Is this the atmosphere of the Eastern Conference finals? It's really different from before." After the first two rounds of the series, Kevin Durant has successfully become the Magic's scorer second only to Sun Zhuo. Although this game , he became a substitute again.

"I wonder if Paul Pierce's head is healed." Artest smirked and teased Sun Zhuo. He moved his body and showed off his muscles.

However, such a move does not scare Paul Pierce at all.

In the first minute of the game, Pierce told Artest face to face: "Use all your bad tricks!"

On the first ball, Pierce forced a single against Artest. Artest was unwilling to admit defeat. Seeing that he could not stop Pierce, he had to foul. However, Pierce was in excellent condition and even hit the ball despite Artest's foul. Goal.

"ah!!"

The audience burst into cheers, and with the stories of the two previous people, everyone was cheering for Paul Pierce.

"Kill him! No one can stop you, Paul!"

Even Sun Zhuo had to admire Pierce: "This guy is really tough. Although his strength is not the best, he has never been afraid of anyone, and he has always believed that he has top strength."

In the playoffs, having strong self-confidence is so important.

At the beginning, the Celtics beat the Magic 8:0. This scene was very similar to a certain game in the regular season, except that the Magic beat the Celtics 8:0 and once threatened to score 20. :0.

"Break them in the first quarter!"

"Play until 15:0, let them see how good we are!"

Everyone on the Magic bench was panicked for the first time.

Sun Zhuo also felt the pressure, but he still had a secret weapon that he didn't use.

At the beginning of the playoffs, Tim Duncan's challenge was newly added to the Superstar Challenge. Sun Zhuo has completed three challenges and obtained 6 special training card fragments. In addition to the previous 8, he already has 14 Zhang, and has already redeemed a special training card.

"I want to improve my mid-range shooting value."

System: "You used a special training card, your mid-range investment value increased from 175 to 180, and your grade evaluation increased to S."

After his mid-range shooting ability was also upgraded to S, all of Sun Zhuo's offensive abilities were all above S.

"Now my scoring ability should be the strongest in history."

Close shots, mid-range shots, long shots, dunks, speed, and strength are all above S. This is extremely terrifying. Even the great basketball god Michael Jordan cannot be so comprehensive.

"In other words, today's game is time to break the single-game scoring record in the playoffs."

The single-game scoring record in the playoffs is 63 points set by Michael Jordan in 1986!

"Leave the rest of the game to me." Sun Zhuo told everyone with a serious face. His teammates could all see that Sun Zhuo was serious!

Returning to the court, Garnett first challenged Sun Zhuo: "A timeout cannot solve your problem. We will continue to increase the score to 15:0."

Less than fifteen seconds after Garnett finished saying this, Sun Zhuo made a quick breakthrough and then made an emergency mid-range shot, hitting the Magic's first goal.

Coach Rivers was a little unhappy: "It seems they still have some luck. It would be interesting if Sun didn't score this time."

Everyone knows that Sun Zhuo is good at dunks and three-pointers. As for mid-range shots, unless he relies on shooting, other methods of shooting are actually not very powerful. Therefore, in terms of defense, they also focus more on preventing breakthroughs and three-pointers. Score the ball.

Then, Sun Zhuo's next attack was exactly the same, and he hit a mid-range shot again!

"What?" Coach Rivers was a little troubled, and he even made consecutive mid-range shots to chase points.

Next, the Celtics got a little tighter, but this time, Sun Zhuo forced a breakthrough and beat Garnett again in the paint with a 2+1.

Sun Zhuo chased 7 points in a row alone.

"It's damning. He's in such good condition. It seems he has to attack in advance." Coach Rivers could see that Sun Zhuo's posture today would be crazy if not stopped.

At this time, Kevin Durant replaced Turkoglu and came to the court.

Seeing Durant play, Coach Rivers became a little worried again.

"In the first two rounds of the series, the Magic were obviously training Kevin Durant's abilities. Now, he can easily score more than 20 points in a playoff game. This game must suppress the scoring of this substitute. Only within 10 minutes."

Due to Durant's threat, the Celtics did not dare to focus their defense too much on Sun Zhuo, so they were in a dilemma and watched Sun Zhuo shoot up again and again.

Breakthrough layups, emergency mid-range shots, long three-pointers...

Sun Zhuo scored 20 points in a single quarter against the Celtics!

"Is this really a playoff game?" the commentator asked in surprise.

I almost didn’t publish this chapter today. Next I will devote myself to writing. The progress may be a little faster, but there will definitely be what is there. I think the most painful thing about writing novels is that when my life is in despair, I have to change my mood, put myself into another identity, and write cool articles. This is so damn cruel.
